Woman jailed for 'crazed' stiletto attack at Walsall pizza parlour

Three customers injured in drunken assault by convicted burglar

A drunken Black Country woman who hit three revellers with her stiletto shoe in an unprovoked attack outside a pizza parlour has been jailed for 35 months.

Lauren Price, aged 24, repeatedly beat three women outside Romeo’s Pizza in Bridge Street, Walsall, while she was in a “crazed” state.

Sentencing her at Wolverhampton Crown Court Judge Amjad Nawaz told her: “You were in a drunken stupor and despite a number of people trying to stop you, you quite deliberately attacked people who were going about their lawful business.”

The attack on Laura Smith, Kerry Whiticase and Leanne Jackson was captured on CCTV in August.

Miss Smith, who was out celebrating her A level results, saw Price arguing with Miss Jackson while she was waiting by the pizza shop.

She then saw Price beat Miss Jackson with her stiletto and when she tried to intervene Price struck her with the shoe as well.

Miss Smith curled up in a ball on the floor to protect herself, but Price sat on top of her and continued to hit her.

Price then hit Miss Whitticase over the head as she tried to call police. Miss Jackson came off worst, suffering cuts to her forehead and her nose.

Price, of no fixed address, was on licence at the time after being released from a 20 month prison term for burglary. She admitted three charges of assault.

And further admitted assaulting a Police Constable she spat on as he tried to arrest her.
